Question

The diagram of large intestine of man is given below. Identify the parts labelled A, B, C, D, E and F.

• A. (a) A = Caecum, B = Vermiform appendix, C = Sigmoid, D = Ascending colon, E = Transverse colon, F = Descending colon.
• B. A = Sigmoid, B = Vermiform appendix, C = Ascending colon, D = Transverse colon, E = Descending colon, F = Caecum.
• C. (c) A = Sigmoid, B = Vermiform appendix, C = Descending colon, D = Transverse colon, E = Ascending colon, F = Caecum.
• D. (d) A = Caecum, B = Vermiform appendix, C = Ascending colon, D = Transverse colon, E = Descending colon, F = Sigmoid.

Answer 1

The correct option is D (d) A = Caecum, B = Vermiform appendix, C = Ascending colon, D = Transverse colon, E = Descending colon, F = Sigmoid.

First part of the large intestine is the Caecum, attached to which is the Appendix. This leads to the ascending colon, followed by the transverse colon an the descending colon. The last part of the large intestine is the sigmoid.
